I am interested in knowing the expression of a certain protein in the islets under feeding and fasting conditions. I use the same total protein concentration for immunolotting. In my first trial I used alpha tubulin as my internal control and found it gave me lighter band in the fasting condition. I thought it is a sampling error and I didn't adjust the same total protein concentration well but on repeating the experiment I got the same results. I tried reprobing the membranes with beta actin antibody  for both of these experiments and I found it is less expressed in the islets as well on fasting.
